Pathology is the scientific study of disease. In clinical practice and medical education, pathology also has a wider meaning: Pathology constitutes a large body of scientific knowledge, ideas and investigative methods essential for the understanding and practice of modern medicine. Sir William Osler, perhaps the greatest physician of recent times, said: As is your pathology, so is your practice. One cannot become a competent physician or surgeon without a full knowledge of pathology. Pathology is continually subject to change, revision and expansion as the application of new scientific methods illuminates our knowledge of disease. Our Department of Pathology made a humble beginning in the year 2015 with the inception of this hospital with haematology, clinical pathology, histopathology and cytopathology sections. With this there was an increase in the workload of haematology, clinical pathology, histopathology and cystopathology. In the year 2016, the Pathology Museum was established, having more than 500 specimens. As time passed, we got O-H Projectors, LCD Projectors, digital microscopes with camera and screens fitting a cryostat (frozen sections), fully automatic cell counters, ABG machines, fully automated chemistry analysers and electrolyte analysers, etc. The department has also started an M.D. in pathology. Our department at HIND Medical College is well equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and has a team of highly motivated & experienced faculty members. We are trying to make our department an excellent one for the purpose of undergraduates' and postgraduates' training and research activities as well as to provide accurate investigative reports with sufficient internal and external quality control measures. As you will go through the details, you will appreciate that we are going from strength to strength.

THE OBJECTIVES OF OUR DEPARTMENT ARE:

At the end of the course, the student should be able to:

1. To provide prompt & accurate diagnoses in various sections like histopathology, cytopathology, clinical pathology, clinical chemistry and haematology.
2. To teach and train medical undergraduates in theory and practicals so that as future clinicians they make best use of this branch. To facilitate this, there are all possible audiovisual aids like CCTV, LCD projectors, O.H.P., slide projectors & computers, etc.
3. To train & guide postgraduate students so that they may become pathologists of high standard who are to help the suffering patients through their precise diagnostic skills. They will also be trained to become good researchers & teachers.
4. Research activities – Besides the latest instruments & proper infrastructure, there is a very well-equipped departmental library having the latest reference books, journals & internet connection.

OUR AIM IS –

1. To educate UG and PG in Pathology thoroughly so that wherever He / She is posted, He / She does His / Her duty confidently and works for the management of patients.
2. Some students might take up jobs in the remote areas after their exposure to these patients.
3. Thus, our aim is to reach one, to teach one, and to serve all.

We have a strong team of experienced faculty members who not only do the reporting duty sincerely but are also actively engaged to mentor UG and PG students in pathology.
